Bottom sediment samples from 30 stations of Pahang River estuary collected in April 2008 were analyzed for the concentration of Pb and Cu using the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average concentrations of Pb and Cu were 74.31 ± 22.97 μg/g dry weights and 18.65 ± 7.65 μg/g dry weights, respectively. In this study, the

The percentage of organic carbon contents of 62 bottom sediments in Pahang river- estuary were analyzed using the wet dichromate oxidation method. The sediments particle sizes at the same stations were also measured using the dry sieving and laser diffraction methods. In this study, the concentrations of organic carbon are relatively higher during

The depletion of petroleum resources coupled with environmental awareness have spurred effort to produce biodegradable materials from natural resources, which is stable during storage and can be safely disposed after their intended time of use. These materials also can form the basis for sustainable and ecoefficient products that often results in l

The information technology (IT) revolution has taken the world by storm. Despite it’s many champions and advocates, IT has left many people feeling confused about its proper place and use. In the Muslim world, attitudes towards IT are quite diverse. On one hand, there are some scholars, particularly those with scientific backgrounds, who eagerly

During the last two decades, the world witnessed a meteoric rise in the role played by the media for influencing human perceptions of other people, places and things. This tremendous influence has had both beneficial and detrimental consequences for individuals and communities across the globe. On one hand, the media has proven to be a valuable sou

An effort to analyze selected heavy metal accumulation by the razor clam (Solen brevis) from Tanjung Lumpur was conducted on January to April 2010. A total of fifty individuals of Razor clam Solen brevis were sampled and metals such as Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganase (Mn), Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) Concentrations were determined using

A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine the different level of accumulation of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in 21 days fingerlings tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The concentration of these metals in the gills was detected through Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). It was observed that the tilapia fingerlings

The research emphasizes on the relation of the Arabic concept of “ma`ani nahwi” and the Latin “modistae”. In order to establish this relation, the researcher illustrates the role of Aristotle’s categories in influencing the concept of the Medieval Latin “modistae”. This is followed by a reevaluation of the influence of Arabic philosop

Gold nanoparticles supported on zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized at several pH levels via the deposition-precipitation (DP) method. The effects of pH on gold loading, particle size, and particle size distribution on the support were studied at the iso-electric point (IEP) as well as below and above the IEP of ZnO. The addition of the suppo

Lemongrass is widely used in food technology as well as in traditional medicine. Thus, research should be done on this plant. However, nowadays most of the researches just focus on the lemongrass leaves. This project is focused on the extraction, identification and analyzation of bioactive compounds from lemongrass essential oil. The first part of
